Veronica Canning has made her mark over the past three decades – both nationally and internationally – as one of the finest educational, inspirational and motivational communicators focusing primarily on the female audience.

She is an international consultant on strategic and creative thinking. Her clients include a number of Blue Chip organizations including Bristol Myers Squibb, Phillips, ACC Bank as well as Irish government departments. Her client portfolio has extended with work for the European Union, in Bosnia Herzegovina. Veronica is a respected executive mentor and strategist with small to medium size companies and has provided consultancy services to national, regional development and enterprise organizations within Ireland.

Veronica has built the SHOES® BRAND around her innovative and progressive Mentor programs including:
 The highly acclaimed “SHOES® Programs for women”, a revolutionary method of empowering the next generation of women business leaders focusing on entrepeneurs and small to medium businesses.

 The “RECESSIONISTAS Program” giving business women the tools that they need to drive their business through the recession successfully.

Through the SHOES PROGRAMS she has helped thousands of women to define their true goals and ambitions.

She is also a much sought-after international speaker, with over 200 speeches under her belt, most recently in Syria as a keynote speaker at an International Women’s Conference and for global companies and organizations launching women in business initiatives: including Deloitte, Double Click and Allied Irish Banks.
